I had in mind to draw attention to the activities of divine Persons in relation to the circumstances of the saints, with the desire that we might reach Paul's note of triumph, challenging his own heart and the saints — "What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?, Rom. 8:31. I believe, dear brethren. we have no authority to look forward to better times in this world; I think it would be fallacious for anyone to attempt in ministry to promise the saints better times; but what we can put our foot down upon without the slightest trepidation is the blessed fact that God is for His people, and if God is for us, all the powers of evil in their activities are not going to succeed against the saints.
